  1. We run budget deficits and have the world’s largest and best financial market. There is no problem we have that a SWF will solve except the lack of a vehicle for for blatant cronyism.
  2. Colorado’s gold hats and pants are so much better than all black.
  3. A&M to wear 1975 throwbacks against Gata. The Manziel era uniforms were similar but this is so much better without the beveled numbers. The 70s era adidas logo is a nice touch.
  4. Bucs: This is the best uniform combo in the NFL. No, we won’t make them our regular look, idiot.
  5. The cutoff for their plot was July 4 and that happened in August. These two are at MIT and CSIS and have called out RW violence for years. Getting angry at academics when data doesn’t align with priors is the dark MAGA way. ”RW violence dips when extremists believe the state is implementing their agenda” is its own troubling and plausible thesis. I imagine Islamic terror I in Afghanistan has dipped since the Taliban took over and I don’t see that as either comforting or a positive commentary on the Taliban.
  6. The gym I go to is in a development with a long parking lot running horizontal to the main road. One end (exit) has a double striped yellow line and the other (entrance) has a left turn lane. Probably 75 percent of the time I’m stuck behind a dipshit turning across the double stripe instead of using the turn lane.
  7. It’s only terrorism if it comes from the terror region in France; otherwise it’s just sparkling political violence.
  8. I just got done filling out this fun rapture survey about my first car, my high school mascot, my best man, and my childhood pets name. Now ready to go!
  9. I think a lot of plans elect the most conservative for you automatically because people who don’t pay attention to their shit are the ones most likely to throw a fit if they check one day and have “lost” money.
  10. I remember the shirt and it did cause a small shitstorm. But no one cared after a 12-2 season and beating Notre Dame in a bowl and no one cares now. They care about ridiculous beat downs to Oregon and losing to Tulsa at home.
  11. Recently bias kicking in for the OP here. If you want to be more aggressive but still take a “stick it and forget it” approach you can move to a target fund farther out from your date (2055 vice 2045). As this year shows, an S+P tracker is not always the choice you want. I had an acquaintance dutifully make max contributions to his TSP (gov equivalent of 401k) but never reallocate from the G fund until 5 years out from retirement. Now that is a true fuckup.
  12. I’d be interested to see the rest of your reading list. Not a novel observation, but while WWI spawned a tremendous amount of high quality literature, WWII did rather less. Vonnegut and Heller spring to to mind.
  13. He’s on the back side of his 50s and has generational wealth, why would he need to do anything at all?
  14. I think this job is going to be a good test case. In years past this would be a job a hot coordinator would jump at, proven ability to have success combined with relatively realistic expectations; you could turn it into a long gig or a stepping stone. In the super conference NIL era? One wrong move can derail a career in big ways. I think we see more coordinators be careful about the HC jobs they take and testing NFL assistant waters.
  15. Completely agree. And now that you get paid, there should be options to offer more than one-year dead that bind you to the school. Everyone being a free agent every year is bullshit and will ensure that no amount of coaching and development will help a school get better.
  16. Wouldn’t a 9-0 decision to seriously limit a popular and powerful POTUS suggest it hasn’t always been this level of Calvinball.
  17. The court is going to overturn Humphry’s Executor, which was a unanimous decision against FDR. I remember when conservatives hated FDR and called him a dictator (not without some cause) but this admin is so, so much more grasping.
  18. That’s just the thing, the theory of law they advance (Unitary Executive) holds that any independence of commissions or executive branch agencies mandated by Congress is unconstitutional. Until recently this was fairly fringe but packing the court with people ready to advance it has been the goal.
  19. Withholding judgment till I am told if this is in the 80 percent great or 20 percent crazy bucket.
  20. Just another day where SCOTUS uses the shadow docket to confirm that the President can do whatever he wants. Surprising to those of us who were always taught otherwise, but you learn something new every day.
  21. Clickhole badly needs to do a CK column with QEII. https://clickhole.com/i-didmt-enjoy-ozzu-osbruns-muslix-but-we-broth-were-brintish-and-both-lived-a-ronk-and-rolls-lifestylm-by-queen-elizabeth-ii/
  22. When has UNT had a sought after HC since Hayden Fry and Jerry Moore?
  23. I agree with this. It’s a super lib thing to think that we can fix this by making the rules better. The problem is not the OS, this is pure user maliciousness. Russia had a really great constitution written in the 1990s.
  24. A lot of GARLIC butter, totally different thing that’s good for you.
